Chicharito spotted smiling at the London Stadium

Chicharito was spotted smiling at the London Stadium at the weekend as he welcomed the New York Yankees as Major League Baseball’s most-successful team did battle with the Boston Red Sox on Sunday

The Hammer was among 60,000 fans who turned out to watch the Yankees and Red Sox clash on Sunday in the second of two London Series ballgames – the first regular-season MLB matches to be played in Europe.

Ahead of his return to pre-season training Chicharito was invited to the game as a guest of Yankees pitcher and his fellow Mexican Luis Cessa and was welcomed to the field for Yankees batting practice.

There, the Yankees fan swapped shirts with Cessa and met his Venezuelan teammate Gleyber Torres, who was clearly excited to rub shoulders with the Irons’ No17 and Mexico’s all-time leading goalscorer.

Chicharito told me that he is a Yankees fan and super happy and very grateful with the invitation to the game,” said Cessa
